King Arthur in Hollywood

The Quest for Olwen

From Films.com: "Destined by a spell, cast by his
stepmother, to love only Olwen, Culhwch begins his quest to seek her hand,
but the road to marriage is paved with seemingly insurmountable obstacles
set by her father, the evil giant, Ysbaddaden. Thus begins one of the
loveliest of the Tales of the Mabinogion, some manuscripts of which
are at least 700 years old. The legends themselves are of course far
older, though their spell is as powerful today as it was when rugged
warriors and their ladies listened to the adventures of King Arthur and
Merlin and giants and dragons, of the daunting adventures that pitted
noble heroes against the powers of magic and evil. Outstanding animation
is the technique for portraying the stirring tale of Culhwch and Olwen.
